Irene Pauline's family faced a major setback in April 2021 when her father suffered a devastating motorcycle accident, leaving him paralyzed on the left side of his body. This tragic event rendered him unable to work, significantly impacting the family's financial stability. The aftermath of the accident has been a continuous struggle for the family, as they grapple with the scarcity of household necessities and the challenge of providing sufficient meals for the children.

In the face of adversity, Irene's mother has shown remarkable resilience. Lacking formal education herself, she has endeavored to support her family through agriculture, cultivating a small plot of land, and selling fried chicken in the evening hours downtown. Despite her diligent efforts, the income generated from these endeavors falls short of covering the educational expenses of Irene and meeting the basic needs of the household.

Irene, a diligent student with aspirations of becoming a nurse, finds her educational journey at risk due to the financial constraints faced by her family. The prospect of receiving assistance to continue her education represents not only an opportunity for Irene to pursue her dreams but also a beacon of hope for her family during these challenging times. Support for Irene's schooling would not only ensure her academic progression but also inspire a positive change in the trajectory of her family's circumstances.

About my community:
St. Francis of Assisi (Lugazi)
In the Lugazi Diocese, CARITAS finds some of the poorest families in all of Uganda. Because of St. Francis of Assisi's great love for the poor, he is the patron of this community. We pray for his intercession so that more children in this diocese have a chance to overcome the poverty that they have always known.
About my country:
Uganda
Known as the "Pearl of Africa," Uganda is located on the shores of Lake Victoria in the Great Lakes region of East Africa. Since emerging from decades of civil war and the devastation of AIDs, estimates indicate that 48% of Uganda's population is below the age of 15. Young children suffer disproportionately in the struggle to access healthcare, education, and clean water.
